I have been looking to buy a copy of a "New Revised Standard Version" NRSV of the Bible for some time. While there are many translations of the Bible, I was looked for a trusted scholarly version that was up to date using current, reliable textual sources that are available. The NRSV hits the nail on the head. Most Bibles on the market today have an axe to grind or a theological or denominational point to make. While I normally do not buy a "study Bible" as I normally prefer to do my own study and are wary of experts who tell you in no uncertain ways how you must read a particular text. However this edition has 81 contributors and is miles part from some of the older study bibles with one expert telling you how to read it. In addition it is great to have the apocryphal deuteroganonical books and a detailed concordance all in one volume. Finally to have a well bound paperback edition that does not break the bank and is also a great selling point.Read full review
